Wordle is a digital visualisation tool that creates a word cloud from a selection of text with more frequent words becoming larger words in the image. The following is an example of a Wordle of the Music on a Kazoo drafts. One interesting feature is the large "Like" positioned near the bottom, perhaps indicating a high number of similes in the book, and the relatively large "poet" in the middle perhaps suggesting this work as self-reflexive. This visualisation does not interpret the work for a critic, but allows one to investigate perhaps otherwise overlooked avenues.
